"That`s Progress"
© DANOLYRICS 2001
It used to be "Marbles",
And "Kick the Can",
Now it`s cellphones,
Pagers and pokeyman,
If you owned a b-b gun,
And pocketknife you were cool,
Nowdays you get in trouble,
For nailclippers in school...
Yeah, that`s progress,
A really fine mess,
Yeah, that`s progress.
In the good old days,
You could hunt and catch fish,
Today certain people,
Fight to take your every wish,
I don`t know why or how,
That innocence got lost,
But us common people,
Are paying the cost...
Yeah, that`s progress,
Uhh...more or less,
Yeah, that`s progress.
Used to travel when we had to,
But stay home alot more,
Now were runnin all over,
And don`t know what for,
We seemed to have lost,
Our focus too fast,
Speeding like hell,
To outrun years past...
Yeah, that`s progress,
A mountain of stress,
Yeah, that`s progress.
Yeah, that`s progress,
Untimely, I guess,
But that`s progress...
Yeah, that`s progress!
